Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period linked to the TikTok ban impacting its publisher, ByteDance. However, the situation has led to a significant development: Second Dinner is actively searching for a new publishing partner.
The abrupt removal of Marvel Snap, accompanied by a "banned" message, reportedly caught Second Dinner off guard. This unexpected action, coupled with player backlash over lost login rewards and disrupted gameplay, has understandably angered the developer. Their subsequent announcement of seeking a new publisher underscores the severity of the situation.
This incident highlights the potential pitfalls of relying on a publisher with rapidly shifting priorities. ByteDance's decision to pull both TikTok and several gaming titles without sufficient warning has clearly backfired, causing significant damage to its relationship with Second Dinner and the Marvel Snap player base.
The process of finding a new publisher will likely take considerable time, potentially months or even years. Until a new partnership is established, the hope is to prevent similar disruptions in the future. In the meantime, players can return to the game and consult helpful resources like our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list to enhance their gameplay.
